Collegian Curtain Time
On stage everybody. Curtain going up! The run of another
show is over, and it's time for bows.
Step forward, Miss Lois Neifert, and accept a dozen orchids
for the splendid job you performed
as director. By devoting your time
and efforts to this production and
by using tact, skill, and patience,
you made the show go on. In spite
of lack of props, and despite a
couple missed cues, you utilized
what resources were on hand. Your
directorship was really a partner
ship with your cast who wish to
express their admiration for a de
pendable and worthy leader.
Lois Neifert
Backstage and lining the catwalks is another party, whom we
beckon toward the limelight. This is the Student Council, pro
ducers of the Collegian.
For catching the best scenes at the right moment, the cast and
audience nod approval in the direction of photographer Walter
Stone.
But before the curtain is lifted again, the company takes time
to thank the entire cast whose names appear on the playbill above,
for a great performance. They wrote their own scripts and worked
together in and out of acts. Some of them will return next season.
To their patrons and audience, extended thanks.
Toast To Highacres
In December a long-awaited project materialized when the
Markle estate, Highacres, was purchased for a bigger and better
Hazleton Center of Penn State. This project has a number of
assets to begin with, a promising freshman class, A-1 faculty,
and energetic leaders. But there is one thing the outgoing sopho
mores hope for that is not evident in the present setup. That is
school spirit. Hazleton Center has the status of a junior college.
Next year it will have a scenic location and buildings to be proud
of. Will these additional resources increase school spirit? Some
are of the opinion that they will, others are not so sure. Here is
a challenge. The sophomores wish you freshmen pioneers good
luck in trying to meet it.
(EDITOR'S NOTE : To the next editor of the Collegian, who
ever he or she might be, we offer this bit of advice for him or her
to remember with every edition :)
When a mechanic makes a mistake, he charges it on the bill
When a doctor makes a mistake, he buries it.
When a judge makes a mistake, it becomes the law.
But when an editor makes a mistake, LOOK OUT!

Reports Work Of
First Infirmary
Miss Florence Yannes, R. N., has
submitted a summary of the accom
plishments of the, first infirmary at
the Center. Her report shows that
this new department has .served a
bneficial function to the college. _
Numerous accidents occured in the
chemistry lab, especially from broken
test tubeg and 'spilled acid's. One
student sustained a severe burn on
the inner side of the wrist which
lasted two months with daily treat
ments.
Fifteen ankles were taped for stu
dents who overworked ( ?) in physical
education classes. Treatment of boils
was common.
One . boy needed two sutures over
the left eye after an accident in phy.
ed class, and four students missed
school because of appendictomy.
Common colds necessitated many ex
cuses.
Three hundred and eighty-five stu
dents took physical examinations
which included the Vollimer patch
best for tuberculosis. Approximately
twenty showed positive or susceptible
to the tuberculosis bacillus. X-ray ex
aminations were taken and only few
showed positive.
Next year two beds equipped with
bed side units will be installed at
Highacres. One was available this
year. This machine is valuable for
treating sprains.
First Civic Day
Well Attended
Last Saturday the students and
faculty of the Hazleton Center par
ticipated in a new p'roject, Civic Day.
Despite threatening thundershowers
a group of sixty faculty and students
went to Highacres to thin out the
dense undergrowth. The student 'com
mittee was pleased with the enthusi
asm of the group and expressed their
hope that Civic Day will become an
annual event.
DINNER MEETING
The Women's Organization held a
dinner meeting at the Ovalon Restau

transfer to the campus, has received
the honor of being one of 17 Penn

a graduate of Hazle Township High

Then there's the story about the
two ambitious fleas who worked hard,
saved their money and finally went
out and bought their own dog.
